Rabika Energy Stones and Jewelry are made from the highest quality gemstones and minerals available. Unless otherwise noted, all stones used are natural, earth or animal made, and without dyes, treatments, or irradiations, and are not man-made.

There are a few exceptions to this policy, and the exceptions are for good reasons, as follows:
Hematite:	Also known as hematine when man-made. It is virtually impossible to tell the difference between hematite and hematine. The man-made hematine carries a very high energy, especially when enhanced. So I cannot promise whether that which is sold as Hematite is actually hematite or hematine. Fortunately, the spiritual properties of hematite and hematine are the same.
Silver and Titanium Druzy:	These are man-made composites. Clear quartz druzy is enhanced with a thin layer of either sterling silver or titanium. The energy of these creations is so high that there is no reason to exclude them from a good natural collection. Both the quartz druzy and the metals are natural and earth made. The only processing is in binding them together. They will enhance your life with incredible attraction energies. Because of the purity of the metals used, they are not only quite valuable, but also are some of the highest power pieces I carry.
Turquoise:	While I take care to purchase natural turquoise in its infinite variety, technically, it is very difficult to find any turquoise these days that is not stabilized. The process of stabilization is the addition of a resin material to keep the soft turquoise from chalking. Stabilization does not take away the natural energy of the turquoise. It does, however, assure that your stone with last for a very long time. The other issue with turquoise is that it may be possible that a piece of vibrantly colored turquoise is dye enhanced: especially if it is the crackle variety. Veined turquoise cannot be dyed without telltale signs. If I select a piece of turquoise that I know is dyed, so the color can be used in a particular piece, I will say so specifically. I try to be clear with my stones, but I am only human and some dyed stones may slip through unnoticed. If it makes a big difference to you, I suggest you only purchase the light aqua, white or metal veined varieties of turquoise.
Goldstone:	Goldstone is a man-made stone consisting of glass infused with flecks of copper. Even though it is man-made in its presentation, it is actually an excellent enhancer of the magnetic and conductive properties of the copper. It is like having pure copper on steroids working for you 24/7. The ability of the glass housing to amplify these pure copper qualities makes these beautiful stones a fundamental power-up for your life. Use these stones knowing you are working with the metal amplified inside the glass and relish the extra beauty that is added to your energy amulet. As the stone sparkles to the eye, the energy in the stone sparkles and calls to your deepest desires.
Pearls:	The Biwa and fresh-water pearls are often heat enhanced with metals or dyed. The energy of the pearl is not dampened by these processes and the colors and metal coatings enhance the beauty of the jewelry. Again, if it matters to you, do not buy pieces with the exotically colored pearls. Stay with the white, cream or grey/blue (called black) varieties as these are not dyed or treated.
Jade:	All jade pieces are natural and are not treated or dyed. Some will blow your mind with the exotic, rich colors they display, but I promise you, they are real and all natural.

All other stones are natural and untreated: straight from nature, to the Rabika Grid, to you.
Enjoy them all.
